52 Weeks. 52 Frames.

It’s the start of the third week in January – 16 days into 2023 to be exact. In the spirit of trying to reclaim my own creativity, which I’ve been trying to do for a while now, and inspired by a friend of mine who has a daily art practice, I’m going to give a photo challenge a try. The premise is easy – take one photo based on the prompt every week. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

A Last Huzzah?

I’m getting ready to leave for the past – 1864 to be exact as I’m a Civil War Re-enactor. I have been since I was 16 and a friend came into class, handed me a permission slip and told me to have my mother sign it and that on Saturday I was going with her to Gettysburg to get something to wear.  I had found a fascination in the American Civil War when I was 13 and going out to do this peaked my interest in a way the same way that dressing up for the Renaissance Faire or Wild West Re-enacting (which I also occasionally do) did. History fascinated me and I wanted to know every little detail from all sides of the story and every single person. I didn’t ask any questions. I was just excited. That’s how I came to join the Chesapeake Signal Detachment with the Provisional Army of the Confederate States (PACS).

A Semester in Egypt

Well, here we go again folks! I’ve been in Cairo, Egypt for almost a week now. It’s been an interesting experience so far. I’m afraid that the cars will kill me, but I’m starting to get the hang of it. I’ll be sure to post to my travel blog, which many people followed last semester, http://assseenbybecky.blogspot.com, and I will post some new photography as the semester goes on. It will be awesome, I just know it!

So, that’s about all I have to say at the moment. More to come in the next semester!

Back in the US

Well, my plan to continually update while in the Czech Republic failed rather miserably. Every time I thought about it, something else would come up and I would get distracted by that project for a bit…and I’m sure you can see how the vicious cycle continued. But, I did manage to keep my travel journal up-to-date and I will continue that through the next semester during my studies in Egypt. So, make sure to keep watching me as I travel. Should be a lot of fun this semester. Especially, with all of the terror stuff going on.
